Christine, a Weltwärts volunteer from the CEJ ´19 / ´20 writes an exciting report of her rash departure from Cajamarca
(caused by the corona pandemic)

On the initiative of Ronald Soliz, responsible for CEJ, employees of “One Dollar Brille e.V.” visit the nearby village of La Punilla and offer good simple glasses. Our Weltwärts volunteers from the CEJ also help.
The glasses are made on site using a simple bending machine. People are first tested and immediately receive the right glasses afterwards.
The lenses have the strengths from -6.0 to +6.0 diopters.
